 >\n<em></em>\n\nSenator Daniel Inouye\, a highly decorated American WWII c
 ombat veteran\, an eight term United States Senator\, and the President pr
 o tempore of the United States Senate from 2010 until his death in 2012\,

  the Senate&rsquo\;s President pro tempore\, he was third in line in the s
 uccession for the U.S. Presidency.\n\nSenator Inouye&rsquo\;s accomplishme

 \; by the U.S. government and denied basic civil rights held by all Americ
 ans at the time.&nbsp\; His journey from &ldquo\;enemy alien&rdquo\; to wa
 r hero to President pro tempore\, his advocacy for civil rights\, the U.S.
  military\, Native Hawaiians\, American Indians\, the people of Hawaii and
  others\, and his work in the Senate all form a legacy that will remain al
 ive for generations.\n\nSenator Inouye&rsquo\;s life and place in American
  history is an opportunity to understand the arc of the Asian American exp
 erience over the past 100 years.&nbsp\; The Smithsonian Asian Pacific Amer
 ican Center is proud to host a special forum to discuss the life and legac
 y of Senator Daniel Inouye\, a man of our time.\n\n<strong>Forum Speakers:
